Great child carrier for hiking and other uses. So far I have used the sapling for between 15 and 20 hours. I have used it for day trips to the zoo, walking on paved paths and hiking on well kept trails. I have carried both a ~20lb and ~35lb child in this for extended durations with some extra items packed in the bottom (diapers, wipes, water etc). I can say that for my 20lb child I could wear this almost indefinitely. When properly adjusted the weight is distributed onto your hips and the should straps basically just keep it from tipping…
Adjustable and very comfortable for both baby and carrier.
Convinient and recommended
